Coffee lover’s Valentine heart – Society6 collection

Are you a coffee-lover at heart? Does a shot of caffeine simply help grease the skids of your morning routine? Celebrate that love, or mark a friend’s affection for a cup of Joe with this rich brown heart made from instant coffee granules.

As I was growing up I’d try a sip of coffee from time to time, but it never appealed, tasting far too bitter for my unrefined palate. The first time I actually enjoyed the drink was many years later on a plane ride during a holiday to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. The small cup, the warmth and sweetness; all of a sudden it made sense and – yum – coffee was good. There had been many years of trying to work out what to order in a coffee shop during my teens and early twenties. Friends enjoyed cappuccinos or lattes, but all the crap on top of the cappuccino meant that it never cooled down. And those lattes? Well, they were just too full of their key ingredient – milk. Ultimately I’ve concluded that I like strong coffee with a splash of milk and a couple of spoons of sugar. An Americano or filter coffee, or a nice smooth Verlängerter if I’m in Austria.

The coffee heart photo makes a fun Valentine’s Day card and you’ll find greeting cards, mugs, coasters, phone cases and more with this caffeine-rich coffee art among the many designs and curated collections in my Sarah Doow Society6 store
